Did you have a bike when you were a child?
Puntuación: 78.0Sugerencia: Câu trả lời trực tiếp và có thêm thông tin cụ thể về nơi bạn thường đạp xe. Tuy nhiên, cần dùng mạo từ “a” trong cụm “When I was a child”. Ngoài ra, “went around Hojima City by bike” hơi chưa tự nhiên; nên dùng “rode my bike around Hojima City”. Bạn có thể bổ sung một lý do hoặc hoạt động cụ thể để câu trả lời sinh động hơn.
Ejemplo: Yes, I did. When I was a child, I often rode my bike around Hojima City. I usually cycled to school or visited my friends in the afternoon, so my bike was very useful.
Do you think bikes are popular in your country?
Puntuación: 68.0Sugerencia: Bạn đã trả lời đúng trọng tâm và đưa ra lý do, nhưng “it” không phù hợp vì “bikes” là danh từ số nhiều; nên dùng “they” hoặc “bicycles are”. Cụm “some bikes get around the city” chưa tự nhiên vì xe đạp không tự di chuyển; nên nói “people riding bikes” hoặc “many people cycle around the city”. Hãy sử dụng từ nối như “especially” hoặc “for example” và thêm chi tiết cụ thể về đối tượng sử dụng xe đạp hoặc mục đích đi xe.
Ejemplo: Yes, I think bikes are quite popular in my country, especially among students and office workers. I often see people cycling around the city, particularly during rush hour. They use bikes because they are affordable and convenient for short journeys.
× When I was child, I went around Hojima City by bike.
✓ When I was a child, I went around Hojima City by bike.
The singular countable noun child needs the indefinite article a when referring to a general period in someone's life. Use a before child in this expression: a child.
× I think it's quite popular because I sometimes see some bikes get around the city.
✓ I think they are quite popular because I sometimes see some bikes get around the city.
The noun bikes is plural, so it should be replaced by the plural pronoun they, not the singular pronoun it. Make sure the pronoun agrees in number with the noun it refers to.
